When a new airplane that's equipped with a new computer that can fly the plane on its own, is about to have its first flight. But the son of the owner decides to upload more software, he doesn't bother to check if there are any viruses with it. And he also invites some potential investors to try it. So the plane appears to be working well but suddenly it veers off course and it can't be shut down. When the military learns of this and fears what if something happens if it's over a populated area; decides to shoot it down along with everyone on board. The man who built the computer whose wife is among the passengers thinks if he can get on board he might be able to shut it down and regain control of the plane. So the military using a new plane gets him on board. But what he didn't know is that both pilots are incapacitated so there's no one who can fly the plane.

Reviews

pugadam Rotten tomatoes.I wasted my time because I did not read the reviews.

caspian-93243 I have watched four minutes of this film, and can bear to watch no more. In these four minutes alone, I have seen:1. An airliner flying at FL250 (or 25,000ft) with the landing gear extended and with the flaps in a landing configuration.2. The first officer says that the #2 engine N1 is falling, then it cuts to the engine display where the N1 is stable.3. The captain and the first officer are both flying manually, each holding their yokes at the same time.4. After the flight attendant informs the pilots that the engine is on fire, the first officer looks at the captain and asks: "What do we do? Captain?" - in fact he should know exactly what to do, as it would have formed a huge part of his training and type certification. There are checklists that exist for that very procedure.5. They then try to restart the engines by slamming the throttle levers to full, then idle, then full, then idle.6. They make a mayday call to 'Central Tower' at FL250.7. Footage of the plane 'crashing' reveals a third engine...I'm sorry, I can't bring myself to watch any more. If you know absolutely nothing about aviation, then perhaps you would be able to watch this film - but I just cant do it. I'm sorry.

TheLittleSongbird There are worse disaster movies out there than Turbulent Skies, it at least has some novelty value in how goofy it is, but it is still poorly done in many ways. The movie has a cheap and grainy-coloured look to it, right from the choppy way it's edited and the effects at best are laughable. The music sounds very cheesy, the ambiance has a lot to do with it, and is often inappropriately used. For example like drowning out what's happening and what's being said or being scored in a way that jars with the mood of the scene. You even laugh hearing the dialogue and not in a good way, it sounds very awkward and often delivered in a strained way, the worst of the lines causing unintentional humour. The dramatic parts seem melodramatic and ham-fisted and parts that should be fun have no tension whatsoever and are so ridiculous even for a disaster movie, a genre where suspension of disbelief happens a lot but this ridiculousness comes across as insulting. The story has novelty value, but often goes at a pedestrian pace, it's so predictable you have no problem what happens next and there is very little sense that anybody cares about the situation they're in, diluting any kind of suspense and tension. The acting is poor too, not even Brad Dourif, a talented actor who has had his share of good films, can save it. Casper Van Dien, who's quite wooden here, and Patrick Muldoon can't do anything with their material and most of the cast don't even try to act. Nicole Eggert's cleavage has more personality than them. In conclusion, very bad in pretty much every area apart from some novelty value, and that's only really if you're in a generous mood. 2/10 Bethany Cox

Eric van Oorschot This movie was meant as comedy? Rarely seen a movie worse than this. The text is like those from a bad soap opera, the camera work fits in exactly. The timeline in the film is utter nonsense. An aircraft that already was flying for an hour by 700 miles is within two minutes passed by an aircraft that had to come from across the country. The acting is not much better. Unlikely characters, real silly technicalities. Top of the nonsense is the change in mid-air through a fuel hose in a commercial airliner by a simple door. A waste of time to watch this movie. Probably this film was meant seriously but there is really nothing good to say about it. Maybe you should approached this as a parody .
